The Travel Nurse.com, Alphatraveler AKA Jesse Kesler RN, MSN

This site is designed to give you the facts about being a travel nurse. What the requirements are, what characteristics are needed, benefits, and what to expect from your experience. You will also find a page describing the different types of travel nurse jobs that exist.

Of course, its also a site about nurses and nursing so if I digress occasionally into nursing but I don't travel I hope you bear with me.

Temporary staffing began over twenty years ago during a (drum roll please) nursing shortage. It was viewed as a temporary measure and most nursing administrators were sure that no one would want to do it full time as a career. Boy, have we come a long way. Nurses are flexible, independent, intelligent, competent and most of them are very experienced. Not only did it become a permanent part of the nursing career landscape, it has become a well respected career choice for nurses.
